He spoke the truth but it's not so much about just success. It's more about power. Al Haymond has a lot power in boxing and anytime a black man has real power they'll try to portray him as the anti-christ.
cashJOHNNYcash17 i don't agree with u and i'm gonna prove that u r wrong, arum and king do the same job, have (or used to have) the same kind of power, but see how don is portray in the media and see how arum is and tell me that they r treated the same way, not at all, not tell me why to guys doin the same sh*t don't get the same treatment?
Nobody wants to admit it, but Don King was good for boxing back in the 1970's and 80's. He was as loud and flamboyant as the fighters that he promoted and he kept boxing on TV because he had relationships with all of the television network executives
The only people who talk bad about Haymon are hypocrites or trolls. They're mad when King robs fighter but when Arum does the same no one cares. On top of that Haymon takes better care of his fighters than any major promoter I've ever known.
jordanmelo825 Bottom line is they are business man. No one forces people into contracts. Athletes need to learn more about the business or learn to associate with people who have their best interest at heart. We have systems set in place to right injustices.
You see it. Those other managers robbed fighters worse than king. Larry Holmes once said I made more with king than any other manager. The people who made the system were mad don beat them at their own game with sheer wit
@jordanmelo825 Well that is because Bob Arum never robbed boxers the same way Don King robbed Mike Tyson. Did you see Arum robbing Mayweather or Pacquiao? No right. And Haymon fighters always fight bums, so no wonder they are protected.
Speak the truth! Arum went on record saying he was avoiding Chavez vs Martinez jr fight, also got caught bribing judges, and was making excuses about a Mexican date, and has Mikey Garica and Chavez jr, trying to get out their contract. And yet people give him a pass. All of Haymons fighters like him and respect him, he gets boxing back on free tv and people are still hating. And he has good fights at that. People hate black successful people but mascaraed it as something else
Donte Burgess Hey, I miss King PPV's, you got like 3 good fights. And Hayman is putting good fights on free networks, which brings boxing back. Golden Boy and Arum, I don't think they're going anywhere, yet Haymon is marking a statement
??? He stole , ruined life, desteoyed career of dozen of super stars blalck boxer and he still splot this shit about black... Im not american...neither black... but with the nasty background of this guy I could not understand that one single black guy in US still support this shit... I dont know one world champe who works with him who has not been fucked by this guy
Hey Dontaeboxing - Why does the captions say "WARNING?" So your saying you have to warn us when a black man speaks his truth? I've never seen "WARNING" in the captions when someone Jewish (Bob Arum) or someone of Mexican heritage speak their, which at time have racists overtones.
Don King spoke very well on this subject, spoke the truth. He has a good way in putting his ways together that make you listen to him. Don King is smart, even though he gets bashed for the wrong doing he has done to fighters like Ali and Tyson. but he knows the system and how the society is. Smart man
Al Haymon is all about the bread, not chit chat on TV people asking him stupid question, I love this guy, I like making money I do not like to be famous, everybody messing about with your business.
Is Golden Boy also trying to buy Haymon guys? I find it interesting, the "Vince Mcmahon" tactic of booking places to be vacant - taking territory. This will be settled out of court yet Hayman is doing well and making a statement, it could go great, which it is, yet any empire can fall - and can you translate Don King's syntax, he's still the best talker of all time
What he said is true but his answer is completely wrong thats not why Al Haymon gets so much criticism!! Its cause he spoils his boxers and they don't wanna lose what they have and the end result is too many "Champions" and fighters not wanting to fight just get money so they take ridiculous pay days for questionable opponents.
Ummmmm I don’t think this has anything to do with his race - sorry, not buying it,’if that was the case then he wouldn’t have been able to ascend to that “thrown” because “The man” would have stopped it .. come now
I was put down and almost threatened as a child for saying I like this man and after years of listening to Black elder carry on about Don King being evil and shit but all of they ass spending they money to the dope man they loved so God Dam much I realized they was twisted! I always learned from Don King and loved this guy! Fast forward 35 years and now all young blacks love guys just like him Floyd Mayweather Jr and Al Haymond! Well I guess again I had my shit together but boy was I abused for seeing through the bullshit! And I don’t wanna hear it! Mohammed Ali treated Malcom X like shit! He admitted it. He deserved worse than anything Don King did! Ya really think Don King wasn’t watching Ali moves! Shiiiittt ya slow if you think that! People need to grow the fuck up it’s called money not funnies! Bitter truth we hate so attack them messengers!
Being black is an old argument that no longer works in America unless someone allows it to. Al Haymon is so successful because he obviously is very smart and works very hard. He is criticized because if you are successful at a high level in America that's part of the game, especially in boxing where every aspect of any success is criticized. Al is a real promoter, he even co promoted one Eddie Murphy's tours back in the day among many other events, he knows his game well and he's not bad for boxing, he's part of the reason why boxing is still alive and growing. If anyone high up in the sport, like Arum, doesn't like Al Haymon, it's only because he is tough and makes the best deals he can for his clients.
beau cloer What torch? invisible right. They are business man out to make a profit. They are not retired boxers operating on a business model to educate and give contracts in the best interest of the boxers. Bottom line is a man can only blame himself when he signs a contract that is not in his best interest. If the contract is not legal or is breached there is a legal system that can be used.
What Don says is a fact! Its all true, and its not only with boxing to say the least. What bothers me is, he knows so much, and has been aware of all of these things for decades in his life, yet he has contributed to the fall of many successful Black fighters. So how can you know what you know, yet your actions speak a different language as history shows us? How can you be respected as positive, helpful and one to encourage upliftment when you are the very one to pull the rug right from under your brother?? If that's the case, then you are just as evil as the devils you blame or talk about in control. You in fact, knowingly help their system by becoming a blood-clot in the body.
Thunderbult3000 It's a truth and not a fact. Not all melanites are treated the same way. Who cares about perception. Don King go this money. He is not worried just like Haymon.
Dago Rodriguez Explain why OSCAR can admit he prevented the LARA and Trout fight vs Canelo for 2 years, bob admitted he protected Chavez jr for years but yet they only accuse Haymon of making easy fights. Name me some non black people that get condemned when they actually do what is asked. That would be like hating on Golovkin even if he were to beat Andre Ward. Name me one non black fighter that reach p4p top 5 list and was hated like Ward, Rigo and Floyd
CALIKNUCKLES Black people will still hate on Golovkin if he beats ward, be honest on that every black person out there is hating on Golovkin... p.s Rigo and ward are not hated on anymore than any other boxers... floyd gets hate because of his mouth but the other guys don't.
cashJOHNNYcash17 You're not making any sense, Oscar Dela Hoya and many other non black trainers and boxers have called him overrated, you can't compare GGG to Floyd until he reaches P4P king status. If Golovkin is flat footed doesn't have the best defense and is avoiding the type of fighters that often expose those type flaws what does that have to do with black fans?
Rod Owen You enter into legal contracts. You have the opportunity to work for yourself. If yu work for someone else then you enter into contract. Stop blaming others for your decisions. Be a man and live as a man and control your circle.
own several businesses ie corporations and have everything material i have ever wanted to only learn that the material is fantasy. I think i speak from the seat of experience. Each man must be accountable for himself. If you look for someone else to blame then you will always be in the house of the victim.
You dont know me and it seems as if you dont care to me aboout me or anyone else its clear man You are making up my lifes actions without asking me anything just making blanket assumptions on a fragmented comment If iin fact you own corporations what is your Paydex score? How many families do you employ? And also what is your 501c organization you started for your community? Unless you want to work with me on creating better circumstances leave this be its pointless.I help keep young men off the street and teach them how to be in business for themselves by me teaching business practices and trades of their interests.I have little to no time for grown men to be pretending to care or acting and speaking out of fear. I am not of this fold.Please consider not being critical use your energy to provide ways for youth to develope our true destiny.
Over the last 2 years i have helped about 20 families to have careers through training without being employed by me. I dont need a 5013c for the non tax.. I did it out of luv and still give back. to all colors creeds and kind. I even feed a rabbit the eve after watching the sunset from my porch ..no biggie. Don tget but hurt because i said that man only has himself to blame for his own actions and place in life. Pretty simple and you will go far in life when that understanding drives you.
Every detractors of Mayweather, Lara & Rigondeaux in the YTBC is making Don King's point. Those three Boxers from what I've read in YTBC are constantly belittled when it comes to their complexion to their wonderful boxing skills being donwplayed by their nay sayers. People don't want to admit that racism plays a factor in Boxing, but it does. Hell! Just read some of the obnoxious comments when it comes to the YTBC.
Hes a VERY intelligent and smart man, theres no question. Look how he has swayed you into thinking hes ur "favorite" by just watching a video of him. Hes done that to many fighters, made them think hes their "favorite" and then rip them off for every penny he can get his hands on. DOnt fall for it man, its a con, all a con. This man doesnt care about anything but the GREEN.
-The racism here is the fact that people look at Haymon/King and don't see the problems in what they do. It has nothing to do with skin color. A liar, a cheat and or a thief is still just that. Refusing to acknowledge that because they are black is a form of racism. Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Muhammad Ali , Tim Weatherspoon aren't racist looking to judge someone by their skin color. They dislike Don King because of his actions. I don't know much about Haymon, although his actions are suspicious. Time will tell.
Don King said it ..... yes he ruined the life not just carriere of many boxers ..... u guys don t know shit about boxing ...... one of them ok i mentioned was Saoul Mamby .... i can say hundreds of them .....
Latikan Chamroensat One hundred that should have had consulted in lawyers or learned to decipher legal contracts. Don King is a business man looking out for his business first. Same for Al Haymon although he might operate on a different business model. I have had contracts where i have made 65 an hour and worked next to guys doing the same job making 8. Is it their company who is the blame or them for not negotiating a better contract for themselves.
He spoke the truth but it's not so much about just success. It's more about power. Al Haymond has a lot power in boxing and anytime a black man has real power they'll try to portray him as the anti-christ.
Bill Cosby sure is having an anti-christ moment.
cashJOHNNYcash17 i don't agree with u and i'm gonna prove that u r wrong, arum and king do the same job, have (or used to have) the same kind of power, but see how don is portray in the media and see how arum is and tell me that they r treated the same way, not at all, not tell me why to guys doin the same sh*t don't get the same treatment?
Sulayman Abu Malik Because Arum is a jew, jewish people own media...
cashJOHNNYcash17 u said it lol
Yeah, still don king is no doubt a jewish puppet.. he is a scape goat for them, but he doesn't mind it as long as he gets paid..
Nobody wants to admit it, but Don King was good for boxing back in the 1970's and 80's. He was as loud and flamboyant as the fighters that he promoted and he kept boxing on TV because he had relationships with all of the television network executives
Good for the spectators of boxing, bad for the boxers he promoted and exploited to ruins. Know the difference man
The only people who talk bad about Haymon are hypocrites or trolls. They're mad when King robs fighter but when Arum does the same no one cares. On top of that Haymon takes better care of his fighters than any major promoter I've ever known.
jordanmelo825 Allot of people think he is bad for boxing.
jordanmelo825 Bottom line is they are business man. No one forces people into contracts. Athletes need to learn more about the business or learn to associate with people who have their best interest at heart. We have systems set in place to right injustices.
Y
You see it. Those other managers robbed fighters worse than king. Larry Holmes once said I made more with king than any other manager. The people who made the system were mad don beat them at their own game with sheer wit
@jordanmelo825 Well that is because Bob Arum never robbed boxers the same way Don King robbed Mike Tyson. Did you see Arum robbing Mayweather or Pacquiao? No right. And Haymon fighters always fight bums, so no wonder they are protected.
Speak the truth! Arum went on record saying he was avoiding Chavez vs Martinez jr fight, also got caught bribing judges, and was making excuses about a Mexican date, and has Mikey Garica and Chavez jr, trying to get out their contract. And yet people give him a pass. All of Haymons fighters like him and respect him, he gets boxing back on free tv and people are still hating. And he has good fights at that.
People hate black successful people but mascaraed it as something else
WOW! I think I just agreed with Don King.
Thanks other.
K Holbert I hope you realize that this says a lot more about you and what sources of information you have chosen to believe throughout your life.
Ingemar Kenyatta ??? Explain yourself
K Holbert Don King should call anyone bad for the sport
Donte Burgess Hey, I miss King PPV's, you got like 3 good fights. And Hayman is putting good fights on free networks, which brings boxing back. Golden Boy and Arum, I don't think they're going anywhere, yet Haymon is marking a statement
Atleast Don King let the fighters fight AL will never do that
Dontae Thank's For Posting !
I love Don kings answer. . No better way to put it
this is exactly how he tricked muhammad ali and mike tyson and stole all their money
??? He stole , ruined life, desteoyed career of dozen of super stars blalck boxer and he still splot this shit about black...
Im not american...neither black... but with the nasty background of this guy I could not understand that one single black guy in US still support this shit...
I dont know one world champe who works with him who has not been fucked by this guy
Imagine Don King saying anybody is bad for the sport of boxing. All of the scamming he’s done
Funny how ppl are so easily swayed. Same ppl watch a doc on king and call him a pos. Now they watch this n praise him
Just because he speaks the truth here n there doesn’t exclude him being a pos. I listen to the people he’s ripped off not just docs
I'm not sure I saw Don King take a single inward breath.
Damn, Don King just kicked the absolute truth.
this is exactly how he tricked muhammad ali and mike tyson and stole all their money
The bottom line....
All men are NOT created equal.
Lol 3 years later 90% of the best fight Al put on or hand a hand in
Actually we dont GIVE A FUCK about what THEY think say or do. We can and will treat as we're treated.
So what did he say on al haymon being bad for business
Don King just kicked some facts he needs to spend his latter days focusing on spreading that knowledge.
Man... did I eat something to make me queasy and dizzy because I agree with all he said...
So true 💯✊🏿
Hey Dontaeboxing - Why does the captions say "WARNING?" So your saying you have to warn us when a black man speaks his truth? I've never seen "WARNING" in the captions when someone Jewish (Bob Arum) or someone of Mexican heritage speak their, which at time have racists overtones.

DK is still sharp. Teach hard
don is right on this
yea finaly a nice video thx you
He wrote the declaration of independence for the devil when he founded hell.
Oh of course! People hate on Daddy Haymon cos he's black! Like totally didn't see that one coming!
Cannot believe he is 83 years old.
if capping was a person
Lmao….the best to do it 😎😎😎
Yeah, AL Haymon should be as popular and well liked as Dana white.
he said he is black he never said he is bad
Truth!
Al Haymon is all about the bread, not chit chat on TV people asking him stupid question, I love this guy, I like making money I do not like to be famous, everybody messing about with your business.
He's telling the truth and they hate it.
Don King is going to run for president. Imagine that
Very intelligent man
Is Golden Boy also trying to buy Haymon guys? I find it interesting, the "Vince Mcmahon" tactic of booking places to be vacant - taking territory. This will be settled out of court yet Hayman is doing well and making a statement, it could go great, which it is, yet any empire can fall - and can you translate Don King's syntax, he's still the best talker of all time
change read the comments guys we're not even close and it's 2019 wow
2021 Still True.
Don King and Al Haymon are both Cleveland’s boy’s. They are the best promoters in the world.
Misleading title
Well said...
He will be one hell of a used car salesman
What he said is true but his answer is completely wrong thats not why Al Haymon gets so much criticism!! Its cause he spoils his boxers and they don't wanna lose what they have and the end result is too many "Champions" and fighters not wanting to fight just get money so they take ridiculous pay days for questionable opponents.
WTF did he just say?!!
Don King...a great orator, as usual.
Giselle X and a blood sucking mosquito
Ummmmm I don’t think this has anything to do with his race - sorry, not buying it,’if that was the case then he wouldn’t have been able to ascend to that “thrown” because “The man” would have stopped it .. come now
Besides all the jibba-jabba, what he said was right.
Jesus he is a sharp 60 year old ain’t no fool
Muhammad Ali would be the exemption. He was the greatest human to live.
Real shit!!!
Real hypocrite

Real Talk!
preach
PREACH!
USA not racist anymore
What people don't is that KING passed the torch to Haymon..... Cmon don't u guys get it !!!!!!!!!!
beau cloer What torch? invisible right. They are business man out to make a profit.

can't stand don but he somewhat right about why al is disliked so much because he is rich and black
Spoken like a true Democrat
Don King is my favorite. If people stop hating and listen they can learn a lot from him.
Hes a VERY intelligent and smart man, theres no question. Look how he has swayed you into thinking hes ur "favorite" by just watching a video of him.

Only in America lol
Why tf is don king talking like he didn’t rob black fighters out of their money right words coming out of the wrong person
